West Ham Ready for an Assault on the Elite After Securing Deal

West Ham clinched their three-mile move across east London on Friday and hailed it as the first step on a much longer journey towards English football’s elite.
The Hammers will relocate to their new 54,000-seat home in the Olympic Stadium in 2016 and co-chairman David Sullivan said: ‘Since we came to West Ham in 2010 we have had a vision to really take the club forward so West Ham can compete on the pitch at the highest level.
'[Friday's] decision offers us a real platform to do this and we are fully committed to making it a real success.'
